These colorful songbirds spend their summers in the forests of Vermont and their winters in the tropics, often in the habitat created by an overstory of trees on a shade grown coffee farm.

The contest helped to highlight the relationship between the habitat that many migratory birds need in both their breeding and wintering areas.
